SharePoint 2013 - Configuring Search Service Application and Topology using PowerShellhttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/chandru/archive/2013/02/19/sharepoint-2013-configuring-search-service-application-and-topology-using-powershell.aspxThe core search architecture of SharePoint 2013 has a more complex and flexible topology that can be changed more efficiently by using Windows PowerShell. Each Search service application has its own search topology.

<p>What&#39;s your basis for putting four partitions per server? Do you have a highly scaled server which can handle the IO? For most deployments doing one partition per server seems to be the common, and I know doing two can work well for better performance as long as you don&#39;t load them more than 5 million each.. still staying at 10 mill per server.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>I want to know if it is possible to import settings from 2010 and import in 2013? Different farms, but same name.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Thx for the info. </p>
<p>I think I found a way for deleting the last active index replica for an partition without having to re-create the search service application.</p>
<p>I stopped continous crawl and resetted the index (what deletes it). After that I was able to delete all partitions.</p>

Based on the FAST 2010 white paper, i can project a local storage needed of about 17% of the content databases, which is huge. (mainly for the read only index file, which looks a flat file rather than SQL)</p>
<p>Can you confirm this architecture is still valid in 2013? Thanks!</p>
